"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the Earth." Matthew 5:5
He who dies with the most toys wins.
Right?
Well, no, not really, but he/she could.
You see, in reality it is not about how many or how few toys you have, it is about your attitude concerning those toys and everything else in your life. When Jesus says that the meek will inherit, he is saying that those who are gentle will gain.
Those gentle with their wealth or poverty.
Those gentle with their spouses, with their children, with their friends, with their employees, employers, coworkers and customers.
Those gentle behind the wheel of their car.
Those gentle in line at Wal-Mart.
Those gentle with children and animals.
Those gentle with creation.
Those gentle with everyone and everything they come into contact with.
In other words, not me, and most likely not you. At least not yet.
+ Do you attempt to be gentle?
+Why or why not?
